Timber Road landslide repair project begins

“It’s important for travelers to understand that Timber Road will remain closed during construction,” LUT Public Information Officer Chris Lueneburg said in an email to this newspaper. “Workers will be on site and we will be excavating the slope. We’re hoping to reopen the road by the end of the year.”
